...

Shangshu Province, Liubu, Hubu Diange.

Liu Wanshan, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, is sorting out various documents.

Things at Honglu Temple are almost busy, and he still needs to catch up on his own work.

"Have you heard? The emperor rewarded Zhao Wujiang with Xingqingyuan..."

"What? Is this serious?"

"I just came back from Lord Shangshu. Lord Shangshu didn't look very good, so he mentioned this matter!"

"That shouldn't be false. After all, for this kind of thing, we have to go through the formalities..."

"..."

Liu Wanshan's eyes widened for a moment as he listened to the chatter of his colleagues beside him.

His nephew Liu Mang offended Zhao Wujiang and wrote an IOU, but Zhao Wujiang had been living in the palace and had no time or means to give the nine thousand taels of gold to Zhao Wujiang.

This matter has always been like a thorn in his heart. The more favored Zhao Wujiang is, the more worried he is about Zhao Wujiang settling the score.

Now that he heard that the emperor had rewarded Zhao Wujiang with the Xingqing Palace, he further confirmed his suspicions and made up his mind to please Zhao Wujiang.

Although Liu Wanshan has some power, he has worked hard in the Ministry of Revenue for many years and has never been promoted. He has been an outsider for many years. There are many people who want to embrace the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, so he has no chance at all. But now he seems to have seen the light.

Why do you want to curry favor with the Minister of Household Affairs?

Isn’t it the same as fawning over Zhao Wujiang?

He made sure in his mind, sorted out the manuscripts in three strokes, five divided by two, and rushed out of Shangshu Province in a hurry.

He wanted to inform his nephew, prepare gifts and gold, and go to visit him.

...

Ministry of War.

"boom!"

Chen Anbang, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, slammed the table, and the pen and ink poured over the table.

He had just received the news that Zhao Wujiang was rewarded with Xingqingyuan, and he was furious now.

He knew in his heart that he and Zhao Wujiang were at odds with each other. The more favored Zhao Wujiang was, the more dangerous he would be.

No, we can't let Zhao Wujiang crawl anymore. Although he is a small harem manager now, he will not be able to secure his power in the future. I have to find a way to get rid of him!

Chen Anbang's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his long beard and beard were trembling continuously.

After a while, he stood up with a gloomy expression.

"I am the Minister of the Ministry of War. Naturally, I cannot blatantly attack Zhao Wujiang directly, but others can!"

Chen Anbang thought of a candidate.

The Dijiao Gang!

The Dijiao Gang has never failed to kill anyone. Killing Zhao Wujiang is easy, right?

"It just costs more money, but as long as we can kill Zhao Wujiang, it's all worth it!"

Chen Anbang's heart surged, and he smiled coldly.

...

Zhao Wujiang and Jia Ersan walked slowly on the palace road and walked out of the palace.

As he wished, the empress rewarded him with a large mansion called Xingqingyuan. I heard it was the residence of a previous prince in Kyoto.

"Er San, what is the origin of this Xingqingyuan?"

"Reporting to your lord, Xingqingyuan is the residence given to His Royal Highness King Xiaoyao by the late emperor. After the emperor ascended the throne and King Xiaoyao left the capital, Xingqingyuan became idle." Jia Ersan answered respectfully with kind eyes and kind eyebrows.

"Then the emperor gave me the reward, are you not afraid that King Xiaoyao will come back?" Zhao Wujiang was confused.

"My lord, you don't know something right now." Jia Ersan chuckled and said:

"According to the laws of Daxia, the elder princes of the royal family must leave the capital after the new emperor ascends the throne. They cannot return to the capital without an edict!"

Well... Xuanyuan Jing has no brothers or sisters, and he has no descendants. The elder prince was transferred away from Kyoto. No wonder I haven't seen other princes in Kyoto.

This Xuanyuan Jing is really alone...
